Healthy Breakfasts and Lunches

What to eat to stay on track (and away from that naughty take-out menu or cafeteria) during the day.

When it comes to changing your eating habits, the rules are easy: smaller portions and healthier foods. Easy, right? Not so fast. Throw in a hectic commute, stressful workday, and tons of temptations (office cookie buffet, anyone?), and by the time you get home to have dinner, you may have blown your healthy eating plan without realizing it. These breakfasts and lunches all clock in under 500 calories and 8 grams or less of fat; plus, most foods are loaded with dietary fiber that will keep you feeling fuller for longer. Use these suggestions to map out your meals in advance for the week…and don’t be surprised if those “skinny jeans” fit just a little better at the end of the month.
